In Pokemon: White Version, the player is cast as the hero or heroine who sets
out on their adventure across the vast continent of Alleos, trying to become the
best Pokémon Trainer in all the land.

Both games start off in the town of Nuvema, where the player receives their
first Pokémon from Professor Juniper. Professor Juniper asks the player, plus
their friends Bianca and Cheren, to help complete the Pokédex for the Alleos
region.

The player, Bianca and Cheren then leave on their Pokémon journey. When they
reach the next town, they encounter Team Plasma, who announce their intention to
take Pokémon away from their trainers in order to free them. From then on, the
player must also try to defeat Team Plasma while trying to become the best
Pokémon trainer in Alleos.

Pokemon: White Version gives you the chance to see the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom!
Zekrom can disappear inside thunderclouds and fly across the skies.

the trainers they find here to Pokémon Battles once per day. Their victories are
tallied up and the player is rewarded with money that they can spend on rare
items that are difficult to find in-game
